First edition. Caldecott Honor artist and bestselling author David Shannon's warm and funny picture book introduces Alice, a mischievous little girl with a nose for trouble and a magic wand. Alice is a fairy -- a Temporary Fairy. She has a magic wand, fairy wings, and a blanket, all of which she uses to disappear, to fly, to transform her dad into a horse, and to turn his cookies into her own! There are still a few things Alice needs to learn to become a Permanent Fairy, like how to float her dog on the ceiling and make her clothes put themselves away, but she's working on it... sort of.
